"[T]he 2028 candidate should be one of our Democratic governors because people out there are going to be feeling betrayed. Donald Trump said he'd get them results and didn't. He made life harder. We, the governors, have receipts. We can show you where we built affordable housing. We can show you the wages for the jobs we've brought in. We can show you the real things we've done to help with public safety, not the stunts that this president does." -- Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear read more

Israel to crack down on settler violence in the West Bank
www.euronews.com
...A document seen exclusively by Euronews shows instructions by the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the Israeli army and police to crack down on settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
The instructions, shared in a non-public document titled "Prime Minister's Directive on Combating Nationalist Crimes in Judea and Samaria," are an exceedingly unusual move for the Netanyahu administration. Judea and Samaria are the biblical names of the area known today as the West Bank.
The army had announced last week it was diverting troops away from its ongoing offensive in Lebanon to the West Bank in order to rein in Jewish settler violence. It is the first time Israel pulls out forces from an active war front to dispatch them to a territory deemed far less dangerous or critical. ...
Carly Simon - It Was So Easy (1972)

Lyrics excerpt...
...
I remember a time, rompin' through the woods
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we would eat
When we felt glad we'd dance
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze
It was so easy then never takin' any stands
It was so easy then, holdin' hands
I remember a time when our fears could be named
And courage meant not refusing dares
I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks,
no only on the squares
Or else we'd be abducted by the bears
It was so easy then never makin' any plans
It was so easy then, holdin' hands
It was so easy then never makin' any plans
It was so easy then, holdin' hands
And now we are grown, with debts and regrets
And broken hearts and sentimental schemes
Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams
Love can drive a normal woman to extremes
It was so easy once, holdin' hands without a plan
It was so easy once holdin' hands
Just holdin' hands

@#36 ... Wet Leg ...
They took their name from how the people of the Isle of Wright describe immigrants coming ashore on their island, i.e., they have a wet leg when they leave their boat and walk ashore.
OK, that aside.
They've been quite the phenomenon in the NYC area. I first heard their song Chaise Longue back in the day when it was first released, and not yet known, on the radio station I enjoy ( www.1071thepeak.com ). The "alternative" new music it presents is one of the reasons I like listening to that station.
The station went crazy over the song.
I scratched my head and wondered why.

Brewer & Shipley - Song From Platte River (1970)
www.youtube.com
Lyrics excerpt...
...
I was freezing on the banks of Platte River
And I was thinking of General Custer and his last stand
And I bowed my head, what has he done
He's got my freedom on the run
I was thinking how they shot Mister Lincoln
And I remember all the mountains that he made
And I bowed my head, what have they done
They've got my freedom on the run
The River is wide and it's wicked
But it ends where there's peace for one and all
I was thinking of the measure of my weakness
Like so many I condemn and do not know
And I bowed my head, what have we done
We've got our freedom on the run
The River is wide and it's wicked
But it ends where there's peace for one and all
